hey guys,
as Im a great fan of Lock On, since the Flaming Cliffs Add Ons came out, I basically agree here on the AFM idea. Yes, FC 3 should at least include the AFM model of the A10C and maybe add another new AFM to another plane,
BUT !!! : No endless Clickology on FC3 cockpits please ! few basic clicks would nice to have,(though not really a must have)
I think many FC 2 fans like the idea of simply jumping into a jet, start the engines, setting flaps, take off and ENJOY flyin' and the eyecandy graphics! not clicking throug a say 8 minutes start up process for all the systems and engine !
the Module Concept of DCS makes it possible for all the different simmers demand to have both: the hardcore simmers will go for the DCS single plane/heli modules like A10C and BS2 , Mig21 bis etc.
but pls dont do this to FC3 !
I like what ED and all the 3P devs are doing, the complexity is amazing and wounderful, but for FC3 no !
to sum it up:
1.) FC3 should feature new high res 3Dmodels of all the main planes (there is so much stuff which can be taken from FC2 mods (combatace's 3d Suchois pls!) which partially already have been taken into the DCSW basic module like high res runways )
btw: (pls someone finally do a nice Mig 29 and F16 3D MODEL !!! this is missing for such a long time now and even still missing in DCS ! -> where are the Viper and Fulcrum fans here ?)
2.) FC3 should guarante compability to the other DCSW modules
( I know this was already announced)
3.) FC3 should ideally add the DCS A10C AFM to the FC3 A10A and A10C , but once again, not add the complex cockpit and systems there...
4.) the possiblity to set the pilot skill as "Player" for the non-featured aircraft in the editor should be possible without any modding ;-)))
5.) That being said: do we have any more info on possible release quarter of FC3 ? is there a realistic chance to have it still in 2012?
feedback and comments on my thoughts very much appreciated !
cheers
